    Cloud Parallel File Storage:Configure a basic alert rule

    Last Updated:Oct 31, 2024

    You can create alert rules to monitor the resource usage of Cloud Parallel File Storage (CPFS) file systems. If resource metrics meet specific alert conditions, alerts are triggered and CloudMonitor sends alert notifications. This way, you can identify and handle exceptions at the earliest opportunity.

    Prerequisites

    • A CPFS file system is created. For more information, see Create a file system.

    • CloudMonitor is activated.

      To activate CloudMonitor, go to the CloudMonitor product page and activate the service by following the on-screen instructions.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alerts > Alert Rules.

    3. On the Alert Rules page, click Create Alert Rule.

    4. In the Create Alert Rule panel, configure the parameters.

      1. Configure the basic parameters that are described in the following table.

        Parameter

        Description

        Product

        • If you want to monitor the capacities of file systems, select Cloud Paralleled File Storage (CPFS).

        • If you want to monitor the performance of file systems, select NAS.

        Resource Range

        Select the range of resources to which the alert rule applies. Valid values:

        • All Resources: The alert rule applies to all CPFS resources.

        • Application Groups: The alert rule applies to all resources in the specified application group of CPFS.

        • Instances: The alert rule applies to the specified CPFS resources.

        Associated Resources

        If you set the Resource Range parameter to Application Groups or Instances, you must select the associated resources from the drop-down list.

        Rule Description

        Specify the condition that triggers the alert rule. If a metric meets the specified conditions, an alert is triggered. To specify conditions, perform the following steps:

        1. Click Add Rule.

        2. In the Configure Rule Description panel, enter a rule name and specify conditions.

          • Single Metric: Select a metric and set the threshold and alert level for the metric.

          • Multiple Metrics: Select an alert level and specify alert conditions for two or more metrics.

          • Dynamic Threshold: For more information about dynamic thresholds, see Overview and Create dynamic threshold-triggered alert rules.

            Note

            The dynamic threshold feature is in invitational preview. To use the feature, you must submit a ticket.

        3. Click OK.

        For information about the metrics supported by CPFS, see the Metrics section of the "Overview" topic.

        Example

        In this example, if the data volume of a file system is greater than or equal to 4,155,796,933,836 bytes for three consecutive periods, an alert of the Critical level is triggered.报警规则

        Note

        If you scale up a file system, the total storage space changes. In this case, you must modify the alert rule and specify a new threshold.

        If you want to monitor multiple metrics of a file system, you can set the Metric Type parameter to Multiple Metrics.

        Mute For

        Select the interval at which CloudMonitor resends alert notifications before an alert is cleared. Valid values: 5 Minutes, 15 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes, 3 Hours, 6 Hours, 12 Hours, and 24 Hours.

        If the value of a metric reaches the alert threshold, an alert is triggered and CloudMonitor sends alert notifications.

        • If the alert is triggered again within the mute period, CloudMonitor does not resend alert notifications.

        • If the alert is not cleared after the mute period ends, CloudMonitor resends alert notifications.

        For example, if the Mute For parameter is set to 12 Hours and the alert is not cleared, CloudMonitor resends an alert notification 12 hours later.

        Effective Period

        Specify the period of time during which the alert rule is effective. CloudMonitor monitors the specified resources and generates alerts only within the specified period.

        Alert Contact Group

        Select the alert contact groups to which alert notifications are sent.

        The alert notifications are sent to the alert contacts that belong to the selected alert contact group. An alert contact group can contain one or more alert contacts.

        For more information about how to create an alert contact and an alert contact group, see Create an alert contact or alert contact group.

        Tag

        Specify tags for the alert rule. A tag consists of a key and a value.

        Note

        You can specify up to six tags for an alert rule.

      2. Optional. Click Advanced Settings and configure the parameters that are described in the following table.

        Parameter

        Description

        Alert Callback

        The callback URL that can be accessed over the Internet. CloudMonitor sends HTTP POST requests to push alert notifications to the specified URL. Only HTTP requests are supported. For more information about how to configure alert callback, see Use the alert callback feature to send notifications about threshold-triggered alerts.

        To test the connectivity of an alert callback URL, perform the following steps:

        1. Click Test next to the callback URL.

          In the Webhook Test panel, you can check and troubleshoot the connectivity of the alert callback URL based on the returned status code and test result details.

          Note

          To obtain the details of the test result, configure the Test Template Type and Language parameters and click Test.

        2. Click Close.

        Auto Scaling (The corresponding scaling rule will be triggered when the alert occurs.)

        If you turn on Auto Scaling, the specified scaling rule is enabled when an alert is triggered. In this case, you must configure the Region, ESS Group, and ESS Rule parameters.

        Simple Log Service(If you select Log Service, the alert information will be written to Log Service.)

        If you turn on Log Service, the alert information is sent to the specified Logstore when an alert is triggered. In this case, you must configure the Region, ProjectName, and Logstore parameters.

        For more information about how to create a project and a Logstore, see Getting Started.

        Message Service - Topic

        If you turn on Message Service - Topic, the alert information is sent to the specified topic in Simple Message Queue (formerly MNS) when an alert is triggered. In this case, you must configure the Region and topicName parameters.

        For more information about how to create a topic, see Create a topic.

        Function Compute

        If you turn on Function Compute, an alert notification is sent to Function Compute for format processing when an alert is triggered. In this case, you must configure the Region, Service, and Function parameters.

        For more information about how to configure services and functions, see Quickly create a function.

        Method to handle alerts when no monitoring data is found

        The method that is used to handle alerts when no monitoring data is found. Valid values:

        • Do not do anything (default)

        • Send alert notifications

        • Treated as normal

    5. Click Confirm to complete the configuration.

      If the value of a metric exceeds the specified threshold, alert notifications are automatically sent. This allows you to obtain the information about abnormal monitoring data at the earliest opportunity.
